To investigate the expression of human annexin-V (HA-V) in relation to HBV infection in different fetal tissues.
Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression and distribution of HA-V in the liver, kidney, ovary, heart, fallopian tube, spleen, and thymus gland of human fetus.
HA-V expression was detected in different tissues including the ovary, liver, intrahepatic bile duct, heart, kidney, lymphocytic cells in the thymus gland, epithelial cells of the fallopian, and cortical and medullary cells of the spleen. HA-V was distributed mainly in the cytoplasm of the cells. The liver tissues exhibited greater gray scale for HA-V expression than in the other tissues (P<0.05) and no significant difference was observed in the other tissues than the liver (P>0.05) in image analysis with Photoshop 7.0.
HA-V is an inherent protein in fetal tissues with possible relation to HBV infection of different tissues as a HBV receptor. Greater amount of HA-V in the liver may account for the vulnerability of the liver to HBV infection.
研究人膜联蛋白-V(HA-V)在不同胎儿组织中的表达及其与乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染的关系。
采用免疫组织化学法检测HA-V在人胎儿肝脏、肾脏、卵巢、心脏、输卵管、脾脏和胸腺中的表达及分布。
在卵巢、肝脏、肝内胆管、心脏、肾脏、胸腺中的淋巴细胞、输卵管上皮细胞以及脾脏的皮质和髓质细胞等不同组织中均检测到HA-V的表达。HA-V主要分布于细胞的细胞质中。肝脏组织中HA-V表达的灰度值高于其他组织(P<0.05),使用Photoshop 7.0进行图像分析时,除肝脏外其他组织之间未观察到显著差异(P>0.05)。
HA-V是胎儿组织中的一种固有蛋白,可能作为HBV受体与不同组织的HBV感染有关。肝脏中HA-V含量较高可能是肝脏易受HBV感染的原因。
